The CRAM Podcast ~ Extraordinary Ideas Unleashed
CODE RED: What’s going on in hospital ERs?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There’s ONE experience that nearly everyone in Canada - and other developed countries - has: a visit to a hospital emergency room.
But the commonality ends there as the QUALITY of that ER experience can differ greatly according to Dr. Brian Goldman.
Brian has been an ER physician for over 40 years. From broken limbs to broken hearts to broken minds, he’s seen it all. But perhaps the most disturbing thing he’s seeing, is the critical situation that many ERs in the country are facing. Long wait times. A shortage of hospital beds. Patients being treated in hallways and waiting rooms. Even ERs being shut down because of lack of resources.
Brian reveals what really goes on in the ER (great stories), what’s good and bad with our healthcare system, and what we need to do to improve patient care. It’s a must-listen-to conversation!!
